So proud of myself

Hello! I hope all is well for you on this fine Tuesday... I'm feeling really good and everything seems to be getting back on track, which is great. Heck, I even found time to make a card for not one but two challenges! I know, I know... that really isn't much as far as combining challenges go (ahem, Victoria) BUT it is my first time combing any so I'm pretty happy with it. ;) I made this card work for the Flutter By challenge to have a 'Thankful' theme and the Quixotic challenge to add stitching. I hand stitched all wonky like on purpose 'cause I thought it looked very fairy-ish. The sepia toned coloring of the fairies was inspired by Christine's cards that she had in the All That Scraps newsletter a few weeks back... I thought it was pretty cool looking and had to try it myself. :) I added Spica glitter pens to both fairies hair and I think I did a bit better job photographing it this time but the sparkle still looks way cooler in person. ;)Alrighty, time to go get ready for work... again. Check ya later!

Damn it I have been wanting to team these cuties up for a while now and been looking at ways of fitting them together lol This is perfect I love the wonky stitching and the colouring. I got my rubbah versions yesterday and am so excited the wait was worth it just annoying that I am still working for next few days so will have to look at them without having time to do anything! :S
